It has been a complete whirlwind of a trip. I arrived, started a post and here I am two weeks later sitting in Mikkeller in Shibuya all by myself. Today was stressful. I had planned to return to the USA on standby but all flights except for maybe on Delta to Detroit. I didn’t…… Continue reading Japan Trip – Final Days
Japan 2023 – Arrival
It is 8:44 PM in Tokyo, Japan and I’m at one of my usual bars (The Hub Ikebukuro West Exit Park). It is 4:44 AM for my body which still thinks it is in San Francisco. However, I am excited to be back not only in Japan but also in this particular bar. This is…… Continue reading Japan 2023 – Arrival
Lapham’s Quarterly – Education
In middle age I think many look back somewhat fondly on their school days. The experiences change considerably between elementary school, high school and college and some many have not enjoyed some of these years but for me I remember all of them fondly. As I read my first quotation lamenting about learning about nature…… Continue reading Lapham’s Quarterly – Education

They also put data caps and…… Continue reading Home Internet – T-Mobile versus Comcast

Journal Entry 4.10.2023
It is 6:15 AM on Monday April 4th, 2023. It is the Monday after Easter and I’m realizing that many companies and schools have the day off. It is even listed in my calendar in official holidays as “Easter Monday.” My company had Friday off and it seems many others did not as I still…… Continue reading Journal Entry 4.10.2023
